Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

My next-door neighbor has the exact same car

by My Soon-To-Be car from Greenville, MS | May 16, 2014

I drove my next-door neighbor's car, who has this exact same car, color, Class and all. It has so much power to it. The C230 is the best Class and style that Mercedes could have ever made. I want this particular year and Class.

Best car iv'e owned

by Moe from NY | July 1, 2013

Owned a C280 sport manual for 3 years now. It was the first 4 door sedan Ive owned, and to be quite frank, is the best car ive ever owned.
Sportier than most coupes and faster too. I could beat most cars off the line. The interior, rims, and shape and finish of the car, it had real curb appeal too.
Previously only purchasing Japanese cars, now I will be sticking to the German made.

bought used Mercedes

by Russ from Kentucky | July 31, 2011

I sold my Crossfire which was a great car. I live 1 mile back a gravel road so winters with snow meant staying home. Now the C280 all wheel drive is great. The outside is too similar to a Mazda 3, but the interior, drive and ride sets it apart. All in all it is a great car. I bought mine used so I backed it with a good warranty. I should be good to go for a few more years.

Great Car, 4Matic, AWD Questionable?

by Colorado from Colorado | January 10, 2011

I purchased a 2007 C280 4Matic, keeping with AWD here in Colorado for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because I am an avid skier. So I have had the car about 3 years now. The maintenance on the vehicle has been very low. Other then tires, brakes, and the yearly maintenance program MB has with A and B service. That is all I have done to the car, and seems to run great. No problems reported there. The car drives great in dry conditions, but I have to say when it snows, or snow is on the ground for AWD, its horrible. I also own a Volvo, and by far that car outperforms this one on all levels, and mostly snowy conditions. Driving in the snow alot, I now refuse to take this car and opt for the Volvo instead. Great car, but needs to look to Volvo for the AWD. If purchasing, might as well go for the non-awd versions. The decreased mpg for awd is not worth it in the long run. For the car performs so poorly in the snow with it, might as well drive without it...

Love my Benny!

by rowgirl from Victor, NY | May 3, 2010

I was in the market for a higher end sedan when my beloved Subaru finally began to show its age, and was amazed to find that pre-owned MB's were available at such reasonable prices. My '07 C280 hugs the road and accelerates like a rocket when I put the pedal down. It is fun to drive, the interior is sharp, and it handles both interstates and country roads with equal aplomb. I only wish the '07 had adjustable lumbar support. Not a big car, but that's a plus in my book. Superb!
